Who We Are

Scrub the Stigma is a non-profit organisation dedicated to dismantling barriers and challenging the stigma impacting women’s health.  From classrooms in the UK and Nigeria, to community events with inspiring speakers, to programmes reaching the most vulnerable, we work to empower women with the knowledge and confidence to advocate for their own health. 

Our vision is simple: a world where every woman has the knowledge, confidence and support to access the care she needs.
